Positive aspects of the product (pros):

cost

Cons:

everything besides cost

Well, this, like all wardley foods, is absolute junk.

Only one of my cories actually tasted this, he nibbled on it slightly. None of the other coriese would eat it, and eventually I had to switch back to the old foods before they starved. All the cories lost most of their color, and it clouded the water and added some much more nitrates than if I had fed an actual food.

Sometimes I like to go out and buy stuff, just to try it out and see what people are talking about. That is what I did, tried these pellets a few weeks ago. With all my experiments, I have found that all of wardley's foods should not be fed. Ever.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Easy to break for fry, was popular with my corys

Cons:

Has copper so killed my shrimp, clouds the water, very messy food

This food was popular with my corys. My clown loaches didn't give it a second look. It messes up the tank as it quickly dissolves and gets into the water column. IF it was the only fish food left it would be ok - otherwise I would probably suggest to find a better substitute.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Cheap, readily available at a variety of stores

Cons:

Falls apart and gets stuck under gravel

My cories go after the food readily, but anything they don't eat gets stuck under the gravel quickly. As with all Wardley products it is readily available, yet lacking in quality. If you choose this kind of food make sure to offer your fish high quality supplements or live food every now and then.

Just because your Gourami is sick does not mean it is always Iridovirus, DGIV, Gourami Disease, et cetera.
Look at all the other factors in your tank before coming to this conclusion.

Bought this before I knew better. The fish would eat it but it makes a total mess in the tank and is loaded with fillers. Threw the rest of it out.

This food is filled with mostly fillers. Wheat, soy, corn and yeast. None of these are need or are any good for fish.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Sinks

Cons:

Breaks up, unappetizing for fish, hard to fish out once it has "exploded"

I dropped a few of these in my tank one time and walked away. I returned a few minutes later and was alarmed by the giant piles of mystery glop on the gravel. Then I figured out that it was the "exploded" shrimp pellets, which were totally untouched by all of my fish (even the normally voracious ones). Yuck. The way they expand and break up makes it difficult to fish them back out again - what a mess.

I had this food recommended to me when I got my cory cats. The cats love it and so do the other fish if they find it. It seems to do the job but there are other foods out there that are not as messy. However to be fair, some people might be feeding to many pellets. I was told to use one pellet for my four corys. They find it quickly. I wouldn't use this food exclusively. I use it in combination with frozen foods. I plan on getting a different product but for now its ok.
